Sheffield Wednesday chairman Dejphon Chansiri has been filmed shoving a young fan after being taunted outside Hillsborough Stadium on Friday evening. 

The fan appeared to stop Chansiri outside the stadium for a selfie, but instead of taking a photo he decided to provoke the chairman. 

The supporter was heard chanting 'get out of our club, Dejphon Chansiri, get out of club' while standing in front of the 55-year-old businessman. 

Chansiri was less than impressed with the youngster's antics and shoved him out of the way before walking out of the frame. 

The young fan in the video (posted on X - formerly known as Twitter) was heard saying 'ouch' before being escorted away by a security guard.

The security guard took hold of the fan's arm and told him to 'stop being an idiot' before the video cut off. 

The boy's father, Dean Percival, took to X to share the video with the following caption: 'My son getting hit by the Sheffield Wednesday chairman!'

He went on to add: 'This video just about shows his arrogance and not understanding of the English game!'.

This is not the first time Chansiri has hit the headlines for an altercation with a fan, he previously called a Sheffield Wednesday fan an 'idiot'.

The chairman referred to the supporter as an 'idiot' after receiving an email demanding him to sell the club. 

The email was sent to Chansiri while the Owls were sitting 23rd in the Championship, eight points adrift of safety. 

The incident with the young boy on Friday night took place after Sheffield Wednesday's 3-0 win over West Brom. 

The result was vital for Danny Rohl's side and gave their Championship survival hopes a huge lift.

Goals from Anthony Musaba, Ike Ugbo and Josh Windass earned the result which leaves the Owls requiring just a point at Sunderland next weekend to be certain of staying in the second tier.

Speaking after the game, Rohl said: 'It was a big performance from my team. I'm really proud of my team, beating a top-six team.

'We were playing against a strong side when you look at how they play and how they press. We were defending as a team and we defended our box towards the end as if it was 1-0. We wanted a clean sheet.

'From the last five games we have taken 11 points, which is an average of two points per game, which is not so bad. It's a big improvement. The mind-set is right and it was outstanding for me today.

'I think since I arrived here, we have always talked about the process and the journey. This helps when you have bad results and it helps as well when you have good results.

'You see the table and we are still not over the line. We are not still safe. It means that for us we keep going and work hard next week. Then hopefully we can celebrate.

'I think we will go for three points. For me it is not a time to celebrate or be lazy. If we are lazy then we have a problem.'

West Brom remain in the play-off places but will need to book their top-six place on the last day of the season, and boss Carlos Corberan admitted he expected more of his players.

He said: 'I think there were some moments of the game. In the first half it was equal. They didn't create many chances and we didn't create many chances.

'I think it's clear that we didn't compete at the level which was needed today to be able to pick up the result we wanted.

'It's important now to analyse the reasons for that. We are one group of players and one group of staff members who will always take responsibility. You have to find the solutions on the back of a result like this.

'The first goal for them was a goal where we cleared the first ball but they put it straight back in and scored. We have to manage those situations much better.

'We couldn't use any of our opportunities to score. It's important now to find the solutions. In football, the only important thing is how you finish after 46 matches. We know that we have to win the next game to achieve our objective.'
